Those aren’t cooling fins.

Those are gas rings for a rifle grenade.

My lady has been off and on the book of face for the last 30 hours or so. She has been reporting on all the horrible, rotten things that have been happening to all of her friends and people of the town.

Did we notice that the electricity was out? Yes, we did.

What did it mean to us? Our movie night was interrupted.

That was it.

We were already running the wood stove, it kept right on running. We use heat powered fans to move the air off the wood stove. Those kept right on running.

I lit the oil lamp and there was plenty of light. She wanted more, so I lit the camp light, and she was able to continue to do her craft work.

We went to bed a little early.

The biggest issue? All the people who were stealing my bandwidth! Dirty thieves.

On a normal day, switching to a hot spot slows things down, but everything continues to function. When everybody is trying to hit the same cell tower to keep up with the book of face and Candy Crush, there is no bandwidth left for me to do actual work.

Last night we had steak, potatoes, onions, and mushrooms. No issues. This morning I had my normal Sunday meal, an omelette. The only difference was that I got home fries instead of toasted homemade bread.

Lunch was normal. Everything was normal except for streaming services being down.

Oh, that included hot showers for everybody. While we have an electric water heater, it isn’t required to take a hot shower. We have a rechargeable, battery-powered shower head. We boiled some water on the stove, added cold water from the taps into a 5 gal bucket. That gave us warm water and a “hot” shower.

Being without electric for a couple of days shouldn’t be an impossible thing.

Relax, read a book, do some hand crafts.

I hope everybody in the New England area is warm, safe and happy.

Coming to your city. Dispatches similar to these can already be heard in Minneapolis. We have shifts being held over (basically mandatory OT), and frequent calls where no one is available to respond.

A district of 61,000 people and three cops.

More than ten minutes to respond to an assault.

You are on your own.

9-1-1 will put you on hold.

Nobody is coming to help you.

You need to know how to take care of your self.

Learn to use a fire extinguisher. Lots of fire departments do training on that.

Take a Stop the Bleed course and buy or make yourself a trauma kit.

Lean to use a gun correctly in self-defense. Take a low light class.

Be prepared to self rescue.

I wasn’t aware there were so many.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Police said the mother of a teen daughter who was shot Saturday night reports the gun that killed her fired off accidentally.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said a 13-year-old girl was shot around 10 p.m. inside her home on Edgehill Avenue. The victim was taken to the hospital, where she died of a single gunshot wound.

Police said the teen’s mother told detectives her unholstered .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol was inside her purse and accidentally fired while she was attempting to grab her keys. Charges have not been placed.

Ladies, if you are going to carry in a purse, please get a purse designed for carrying a firearm or at a bare minimum, have a holster that securely covers the trigger and place it in a separate pocket with nothing else.

If they played this on the radio, I guarantee it would be the number one country hit of the summer season.

I laughed when I watched this because she started her video the same way I did, but better.
